When we last left our hero...
So when last we met, I mentioned that I have been sick. I had been throwing up and in pain since the middle of April. So yeah, that is still going on, but I have a light at the end of the tunnel. It IS my gall bladder. It is functioning at less than 20% (lazy stupid gallbladder) It is causing an almost constant nausea and still making me throw up. But now the good news... I am having it removed on the 23rd of this month. I am excited to feel better. These last few weeks are going to be hell but at least I have an answer. The doc said that with function this low I have been sick for a while. Perhaps even as long as 5-7 years (when I last went to the doc complaining about my gallbladder and they said there was nothing wrong) I feel vindicated. When the tests kept coming up "unremarkable" or "normal" I felt as if people weren't believing me or taking me seriously. I know my GP(general practitioner) was calling it anxiety and wanted to put me on drugs for that and send me to therapy. I fully admit I have anxiety issues but the pain and vomiting were not just a panic attack like he was trying to get me to believe it was. It was very infuriating but now, NOW I have proof.
I used to think I didn't care about food. I could take it or leave it and I still don't eat as much as I should in a day. But now being almost 2 months of hardly being able to eat, I miss food. The smells, the tastes, I eat things knowing they will make me throw up but they taste so damn good. Ah well. In just a short while I will be able to eat again.
